About this audiobook
The Lost Temple of Sheba is not just a biblical legend. A German archaeologist has found it. The Nazis have claimed it. And one American explorer has stumbled upon their secret – a plot that could change the course of World War II.
The year is 1939. An American archaeologist named Gavin Kane is asked to help a woman search for her missing husband.
When Kane follows the man’s trail into the ruthless desert of Southern Arabia he makes two shocking discoveries. One is the legendary Temple of Sheba, an ancient world as fantastic as King Solomon’s Mines. The other is a band of Nazi soldiers who plan to turn the sacred landmark into Hitler’s secret stronghold…
This electrifying thriller is Jack Higgins’ most exciting novel of World War II intrigue since The Eagle has Landed.

- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Not my favourite Higgins offering by a long shot. I actually struggled to get to the end.The plot is straight forward enough. Set just before WW2 Hitler has a proposition to disrupt allied interference with his invasion of Poland. Using the tomb of the legendary queen of Sheba as a base he hatches a deadly plan. However, Kane (an exforces, misunderstood type) is hired to track down a missing exporer. Soon he has to pit his wits against a variety of enemys and the desert heat.A fairly lively tale, but for some reason I just couldn't get it to hold my attention. Try many of Higgins other great works before this one. Probably for die hard fans only.
